A Warm Fall Wedding at Heartland Acres

Cedar Rapids Weddings, Northeast Iowa Weddings, Weddings

I don’t even know where to begin with Noah and Brooke’s day at Heartland Acres. From the minute I walked into the hotel suite in Independence to when I got into my car the next morning, everything and everyone was just amazing. I don’t know how I got so lucky to attract such amazing couples that have the sweetest people surrounding them, but I am so thankful for it all.

Noah and Brooke had a very unseasonably warm fall day that ended with an amazing sunset at the pond of Heartland Acres. Followed by lots of fun reception shenanigans, including a best man with one mysteriously shaved leg in a wedding dress (the photos are just as fun as seeing it in person trust me.) But throughout their day, no one complained about the heat or the wind that practically took out Brooke’s veil for her during the ceremony. Everyone was just so excited to be celebrating this amazing couple on their best day ever!

Noah and Brooke, your day will forever hold a special place in my heart. And I hope you love getting to relive it below while I work on your entire gallery over the next couple of weeks. Thank you for letting me play such a small role in your day and I can’t wait to see where this new chapter takes you!
